As for the "false sense of protection", I'm already working on a DAT file with EVERY KNOWN VIRUS FILENAME in it, where theres a question it'll be users choice, but yeah, the AntiVirus Plugin doesnt give a false sense of protection because the current viruses for MSN Messenger do not "mutate" or whatever they call it there file names, they remain the same unless a user renames them, but then when it spreads, it'll make it to like, 1 PC and then generate the old filename again because the core of the virus hasnt changed.  So yeah .

Thats bullshit, it might say that, but it works fine with MSN6...
I went to check it, and under options and the tab messages I see it's set to scan incoming files with:
E:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus\ccIMScan.exe


And I didnt do that manually btw
